And is there some unwritten rule that I need to get back to them within 48 hours or else I am a horrible person? UGH!

I think it can come off as a little rude if a person does not know that you return majority of your calls on the weekend. If you explain your callback policy to the people that you gave your number to, it can go a little smoother.

I agree with the others. My phone is for emergency. I don't have to do anything. (I don't have to answer it & I don't have to call anyone back. Of course, I don't give anyone my cell phone # so maybe that's why I don't see the big deal). If you don't give the #, they can't call you...

I really hate my phone too, but I need to have it on most of the time because I'm on-call at work. But when I'm not on-call at work and I'm working a normal shift job, I put it on total silent or just leave it at home. But not answering my phone early in the morning for 1st shift has gotten me in quite a heap of trouble a few times I really really really hate phones.
